Dental Emergencies Can’t Wait – We’re Here to Help

Dental emergencies can be painful, stressful, and unpredictable. Whether you've chipped a tooth, lost a filling, or are in severe pain, our team is ready to provide fast and effective care when you need it most.

At Northgate Dental, we offer same-day emergency dental appointments to relieve pain, treat trauma, and protect your smile.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any issue involving the teeth, gums, or jaw that requires immediate attention to stop bleeding, alleviate pain, or prevent further damage.

Common dental emergencies include:
  • Severe toothache or throbbing pain
  • Knocked out (avulsed) tooth
  • Cracked, broken, or chipped teeth
  • Abscess or swelling in the face/jaw
  • Lost crown, filling, or bridge
  • Injury to the mouth, gums, or tongue
  • Bleeding that doesn’t stop
  • Broken dentures or dental appliances

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Toothache or Swelling:

Rinse with warm water, floss gently to remove debris, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Call us immediately if the pain persists or worsens.

Knock-Out Tooth:

Gently rinse the tooth without touching the root. Try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk or saliva. Call us right away — time is critical (ideally within 30 minutes).

Broken or Chipped Tooth:

Save any broken pieces. Rinse your mouth and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Call us for urgent care.

Lost Filling or Crown:

Keep the crown if you can find it. Avoid chewing on that side and schedule a visit as soon as possible.

Abscess or Swelling:

These infections can spread and become serious. Call us immediately if you notice swelling, pus, or a pimple-like bump on your gums.

Our Emergency Dental Services Include:

  • Same-day evaluations and pain relief
  • Toothache and abscess treatment
  • Emergency root canals
  • Repair of chipped or broken teeth
  • Reattachment or replacement of knocked-out teeth
  • Temporary restorations for lost crowns or fillings
  • Extraction of severely damaged or infected teeth

Don’t Wait — Call Us Right Away

Dental emergencies can get worse if left untreated. Acting quickly can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth — and getting relief from serious pain.
